Chapter 37: *An unexpected reward*
Kevin replied with a smile, "Wait a minute; there are a lot of messages. Let me sort them out first." Right after he said that, the messages disappeared, and when they reappeared, Kevin’s smile widened as he said to Axel, "I just got a summary; let me tell you how much we’ve earned."
[ SUMMARY ]
Optional Quest 1 and 2 completed:
- Reward 1: 15 Stats points
- Reward 2: 13,500 gold coins
- Reward 3: Medium grade box × 2
From killing demons, you earned 20,075 gold coins (16,625 gold coins from killing monsters with Axel) and 8,860 exp points (7,750 exp points from killing monsters with Axel).
You have leveled up 6 times; 6 points have been added to all your Stats.
An additional reward has been granted for your exceptional results.
- Reward: Legendary grade box
Axel was rendered speechless; that was completely unexpected. Kevin said to him, "Let me check my inventory and pull out those boxes."
He added, noticing that Axel seemed shocked by the rewards, "Your idea of letting me kill these monsters was great, Axel. Thanks to you, I gained 6 levels at once; we won 20,000 gold coins, and I guess that if we received this legendary grade box, it’s also due to that."
Kevin pulled out the 3 boxes from his inventory, and he could clearly see which of the three was the legendary grade box. It was much taller than the others and looked like it was cut directly from a huge block of diamond.
Axel finally said to him, still stunned, "I didn’t know that it was possible to get a legendary grade box. It’s the first time I’ve seen one like this... Open it, Kev!"
Kevin wanted to start with this box as well, so he opened it and swallowed hard before reading the information to Axel.
[ LEGENDARY GRADE BOX ]
- Large high grade magical crystal × 2
- Trinium 3 kg: ore that allows for crafting legendary grade weapons; 3 elements can be introduced.
Axel then repeated, "Trinium... You really said Trinium... And 3 kg—it’s enough... enough to craft us a large sword and two daggers of your choice. Kev, this ore is something the Sun Sect will never be able to get; even the nobles of the capital dream of it, and I’m not sure my contact in the capital has the skills to craft weapons with it."
Kevin replied, placing a hand on Axel’s cheek, "Even if your contact doesn’t have the skills to craft weapons with this Trinium, he will surely know someone who can do it. So don’t worry about that."
Kevin then opened the other two boxes, and the System summarized them for him again.
[ MEDIUM GRADE BOX × 2 ]
- 8,200 gold coins
- 10 × Medium grade healing potions: instantly recover 100 HP.
- 10 × Medium grade spirit potions: instantly recover 200 Soul Force points.
- 10 × Medium grade energy potions: instantly recover 200 Chakra points.
Axel then said to him, taking a moment to think, "Kev, we have finished this dungeon. I think it’s better if we go back now; one dungeon is enough for today. We can have lunch in Dawn City if you want. It will take us 1.5 hours to get there, and then we can go directly to sell the bodies of the monsters. I will take this opportunity to introduce you to Tony."
Kevin nodded; that suited him perfectly. It was only 11:30 a.m., and he didn’t want to go home yet. He said to Axel, "Come on then! I’ve never been into his shop, and I’m quite curious to see what’s inside."
After they got up, they began to clean the room. They placed all their treasures inside Kevin’s magic bag and the monster bodies inside Axel’s. The only items that remained were Axel’s torn clothes on the floor, so Kevin added with a smile, "Maybe we should take the time to buy you more clothes too."
Axel, who was starting to run low on clothes, said to him after picking Kevin up in his arms (which made Kevin curse again), "That’s a good idea. It’s something that I rarely take the time to do, but I’m really starting to need more clothes."
Kevin finally capitulated and stopped struggling. He put his arms around Axel’s neck and said, "Axel, promise me that you will carry me like this only when it’s just the two of us."
Axel’s smile widened as he told him, "I promise you, babe."
......
The Goddess Cassandra was having a lot of fun rewarding her warrior spirit to help him become more powerful. She hadn’t expected that the son of the God of Destruction would fall for him, but it was for the best. She would make sure that these two became inseparable, and she will be assisting the son of the God of Destruction in becoming powerful enough to protect her warrior spirit and win this war.
Had she not changed their fate, this mage—although destined to become the most powerful mage of his time—would never have managed to attract the attention of this demigod, who was destined for another shapeshifter, the Dragon King.
Now that her warrior spirit had turned all their destinies upside down, the cards had been completely redistributed, and she was impatient to see how it would all turn out. Neither of them was even at the start of their journey yet; she would let them have as much fun as possible before the flames of hell swept over this world.
..........
Kevin and Axel, who both enjoyed the simple things, chose to have their lunch in a restaurant with an all-you-can-eat buffet. They each took a tray and filled it with different dishes, and once at the table, they shared their meal.
Axel said to him, "When we return to the Sun Sect, I will take you around all the buildings so that you won’t feel lost tomorrow."
Kevin didn’t want to spoil Axel’s fun by telling him that he had never felt lost in his life, and that if anyone could find their way back in an unknown place, it was him. So instead, he said, "Great! I can’t wait to see it all."
Axel also needed to tell him something important, so he said, "Kev, this year I’m in my last year, and I have to become the tutor of a student fighter. I have chosen Erik as my student, so I will have to spend a lot of time with him. If you don’t mind, I’d like you to give him some advice too."
To Axel’s surprise, Kevin’s expression darkened dangerously.
